Day 364:
June 29-Red Wheelbarrow form, An imagist movement experiment. I don’t pretend to be an expert on this, but essentially created by William Carlos Williams, lacks punctuation, erratic lineation, using “No ideas but in things” to provide a “clear vision” of the object or topic. Rhythm is determined by the phrase, not in traditional rhythms. Using “Saxifrage” a Latin term literally meaning “Breaking Rocks” to split a line. The first 2 lines sets the mood, the next 2 introduces the image, the next 4(or more, no limit) build upon the mood and description of the image. Use of apt metaphors with limited descriptions.
